And that is why the learning curve is so great. You actually have to see an enemy, pay attention to everything it could possibly throw at you, and plan ahead. You can't just breeze through the game just because you have "skill." You have to play it carefully and pay attention, and many people don't like it because of that.

But it was a curve for skill and not knowledge? I think the skill level goes down as you learn more (Not saying it's easy in any way) I personally love the fact it does this and that's why it's one of the best games ever
